This liveaboard is the best! From start to finish, my experience was the best. The yacht is lovely, comfy, and well-kept. The crew was really nice; they constantly had a real smile on their faces and were happy to help with anything. The food was out of this world, and the diving locations were so magnificent that we saw the most amazing animals and had the best views ever! It everything went off without a hitch, and I loved every minute of it!
